Relief Development International is launching its First Year Associates Program in International Development Finance & Social Venture Capital. The organization is looking to bring on a 4-5 people with 1-3 years of experience in finance/ business (investment banking, consulting, accounting, etc.), those with MBA’s and/ or similar degrees. In addition, the associates will be working with a team in Peru, so a solid foundation in Spanish is important.
Relief Development International's First Year Associate Program
RDI’s First Year Associate Program is specifically designed for young professionals with 2, or more, years of full-time experience in traditional business, finance and consulting sectors who are interested in building careers in international development and social venture capital. The program will build upon the skills developed in previous positions, and will challenge Associates to adapt their view of business development and finance to a wholly different context.
First Year Associates in the 2009 Program will be staffed on RDI projects in South America. Associates will live and work in-the-field, and will be integral members of RDI’s in-country team, charged with identifying, building and managing for-profit business opportunities at the base of the socio-economic pyramid.
